Alan Shearer has claimed that Sergio Aguero is the best Premier League foreign import to have ever graced our shores over the likes of Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Eric Cantona and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Argentine striker was in fantastic form against Huddersfield Town and looked sharp after this summer's World Cup by netting a hattrick against the Terriers.

He has now scored nine hat-tricks in the Premier League which is the same as Robbie Fowler's record, and both men sit two behind Alan Shearer (11 hat-tricks).

The Newcastle United legend scored 260 goals in the league, but crucially Aguero has only been in the league for seven years with the former Blackburn Rovers star playing far more Premier League games over his glorious career.

Remarkably, Aguero was named in the PFA Players' Team of the Year for the first time last season and is second in the all-time list of Premier League top foreign goalscorers chart behind Arsenal great Henry (175).

Former Invincible Henry has also won the Golden Boot four times during his time in England, compared to Aguero's one, but this has not stopped Shearer from waxing lyrical over the former Atletico Madrid star.

"The best foreign player to ever play in the Premier League. A great centre-forward with no weaknesses."

The City hitman's goals-to-game ratio (0.70) is phenomenal as he has netted 146 times in 206 games. He is rarely talked up as one of the league's greats because he has frequently missed parts of the season through injury.

However, his manager Pep Guardiola said that he was in the best condition he has ever seen after his superb performance at the weekend.

"I never saw him like this since I was here," the Spanish coach said.

"He is in an incredible condition with the ball and without the ball."

If he can stay fit this campaign then it's hard to see how he could not break Henry and Shearer's records as City look to retain their crown.
